CRUD asset management APIs

Last updated: Apr-23-2025

Alongside upload functionality, the Cloudinary Upload API provides additional APIs for basic CRUD management of your media assets. Some of these APIs are part of the Upload API, while others are part of the Admin API.

  • The methods in the Upload API are not rate-limited and can be used as needed. They primarily enable you to perform operations on individual assets.

  • The Cloudinary Admin API offers rate-limited methods for managing and organizing your files in bulk, such as listing all stored assets, listing tags, finding all assets that share a given tag, updating transformations, bulk deleting, etc.

Additionally, the Media Library in your Cloudinary Console offers an online user interface for managing your asset repository visually.
